Forams are super cute, but some of them are just spooky 🎃Did you know some forams make their shells gluing “skeletons” of other fossils?

How much do tides vary at your shoreline? The greatest variation can be found at the Bay of Fundy in North America where tide variation reaches 16 meters. It's a fascinating map to study. Have a look at the coastal areas that you are familiar with from your travels.

📑🔬¿Sabes qué es el oxígeno oscuro? Un estudio publicado en Nature Geoscience muestra un descubrimiento sorprendente: más oxígeno del esperado en el océano profundo. Aquí, el oxígeno proviene de la ventilación de aguas menos profundas y es consumido por organismos para respirar y oxidar materia.

📑🔬You asked about dark oxygen, here it is! In Nature Geosciences, a study shows a striking discovery: more oxygen than expected in the abyssal ocean. Here, oxygen is mostly supplied by ventilation from shallower waters, & it is consumed by organisms through respiration and oxidation of matter.
